Mon, 01 Apr 2013 05:13:15 +0000http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=361910#comment-10276I meant to say six titles in 23 years. Not 20. I forgot to change that number. Still even 5 titles in 20 years is far better than just one. The media hype that goes with the Big Ten is just ridiculous. Like last year Indiana lost 9 games and all we heard all year was how they were back. Back to what? Being mediocre? 9 losses at UK is a bad year, not a comeback of the century year like the media hyped IU as being. You want to talk about how they call games in the Big Ten? IU gets more home cooking than any team in America. No sane program will go to Bloomington to play. UK wouldn’t do it for decades. Why? Look at the last game and you’ll know why. Within the first few minutes the best player will have 2 fouls. That happens EVERY time UK plays in Bloomington or anywhere in Indiana against the Hoosiers. They practically had a riot after the game knocking women down stairs, jumping over rows of old people, and pushing UK players on the floor (I’m talking the fans did that). That’s the only reason IU won but you’d think IU was the best team in history all because they managed to beat UK. The reaction I see in every UK fan’s face when we talk about an upcoming IU game anywhere in Indiana is, “Oh no, here it comes again.” They cheat. They aren’t good. It’s just very funny that the two games that Anthony Davis played and got in foul trouble last year were both against IU. Funny how that works. Ever pay attention to who calls the NCAA tournament games?

The Big Ten is in a highly populated area. That means big money. So they get promoted. Kentucky is only loved by the state of Kentucky. So the media doesn’t want them to win. Too bad. They win anyway.

The next time someone tells you the Big Ten is the best conference just remember how many titles they have going back to 1990. Yes they did ok before that but that’s been a very long time ago. The 1980’s was before most fans were even born. But still we have to hear about how great the Big Ten is. Horse hockey.

They have won exactly ONE title in the last 20 years. That’s not good. During that same period the SEC has won SIX. But every year the mighty Big Wind err… 10 gets more teams in the tournament. That’s just sick.

Michigan has been fortunate to play a couple of different styles in the Big Ten. We’ll see if they can hit perimeter shots with their taller wing players against Syracuse. If they can, it doesn’t mean the Big East is trash all of a sudden, and if they can’t its no knock on the Big Ten.

There should have been 4 big ten teams in the sweet 16 according to seeding, there were 4. There should have been 2 big ten teams in the elite 8, there was 1. There should be 1 in the final four, there is one. They’ve lived up to their seeding, just not the hype

The Big 10 has also had at least 25% of the field since the round of 32 so far. I would not call that a failure, or a reputation ruining performance in the tournament.

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 19:47:01 +0000http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=361910#comment-10199If we are now judging the quality of a conference based on how many teams they get in the Final Four, the MVC must be one of the top 3 or 4 conferences in the country.

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:21:51 +0000http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=361910#comment-10192The talking heads have been wrong all year putting Indiana on a pedestal and influencing the committee to put too many teams in the tournament. The Big10 has been a fraud and the fraud has been exposed. Now the whining about how they have been called for fouls in the tournament. If their league would play the game by the rules during the season, they wouldn’t have as much difficulty at tournament time. Florida takes down the last remaining Big10 team today!

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:48:13 +0000http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=361910#comment-10189….it could just be the big 10 isn’t as good as their fans and the media want you to believe. Indiana’s guards looked like typical mid major guards against Syracuse. Skilled but undersized and nowhere near as quick as Louisville or Marquette.

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:47:27 +0000http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=361910#comment-10178The thing about the Big Ten is… The officials let them play in the Big Ten. It’s actually refreshing to watch! But once tournament time comes you get stuck with “turrible” ticky tack touch fouls that destroy the flow of the game. It’s a shame the NCAA Tournament is going down hill with horrible officiating every other game and the “turrible” NBA insight on the games. It would be nice if they could get the names of the players right once in a while!
